- Our Stories
How we have made
a difference
For many years, my life was shaped by addiction, homelessness and hardship. I spent 15 years moving between the streets, prison, mental health institutions and hostels in Limerick. Prison became my second home, and hostels were often the only safe places I had.
Without the support of services like NOVAS, Coolmine, Ana Liffey and Bedford Row, I don’t believe I’d be alive today. They believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself and gave me the chance to start again.
In 2017, pregnant and at a crossroads, I entered treatment in Coolmine. I spent 15 months in residential treatment and a year in aftercare, that’s where my real rebuilding began. Recovery gave me tools, structure and a new way to look at life.
Since then, I’ve gained experience working with Coolmine, Ana Liffey, and now NOVAS, where I’m proud to support others on their own journeys. I’ve also returned to education, studying for a Level 8 degree in Addiction and Community Development, something I never thought possible.
Today, I’m a mother of four, living in my own home, working, and continuing to grow. My story is proof that change is possible, hope is real, and recovery works.
